Lewitt Hackman Among Top Ranked Law Firms in U.S.

The rankings appeared in the magazine's Investor's Guide 2012 edition published December 26, as well as on CNNMoney.com, Martindale.com and Lawyers.com.

Less than one-half of one percent of firms across the nation made the grade, and Lewitt Hackman is one of only 26 firms in Los Angeles to be named a top law firm.

LexisNexis® Martindale-Hubbell® compiled the data to select the firms named. Each Top Ranked Law Firm has 21 or more attorneys, and one-third or more of those attorneys needed to carry an AV Preeminent rating by Martindale-Hubbell.

"We are very proud to be included in this list of the Top Law Firms in the country and we are particularly pleased that the number of our attorneys rated AV Preeminent significantly exceed the number required to be so honored. It reflects well on the quality of our lawyers," said Lewitt Hackman's Managing Shareholder, Keith T. Zimmet.

An attorney's AV Preeminent rating, which Zimmet also carries, indicates the highest level of ethical standards and legal ability, as determined by the attorney's peers of the bar and judiciary, in a confidential poll. The legal community members who provide the ratings have experience working with the attorney under review.

"It's a very thorough process," explained Tal Grinblat, a franchise and intellectual property attorney at Lewitt Hackman who was just rated AV Preeminent last year. "Lawyers and members of the judiciary review you on a confidential basis. Since many of these opinions come from opposing counsel or the presiding justice of a legal matter you handled, getting a Preeminent Rating based on your legal skills and your ethics is a real honor."
